Naturally growing from Georgia to Nova Scotia, it thrives in cool woodland environments, along streams, and on moist, acidic, shaded slopes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"427\" data-end=\"795\"\u003eThis large, multi-stemmed shrub typically grows 8–15 feet tall and wide, though mature specimens may grow much larger and even take on a tree-like form under ideal conditions. Its broad, glossy dark green leaves (4–12 inches long) provide bold texture and year-round interest in woodland landscapes. New growth is slightly glandular and may feel sticky to the touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"797\" data-end=\"1075\"\u003eIn late June to mid-summer, impressive upright trusses of 15–30 funnel-shaped flowers bloom. Flowers range from pale pink to nearly white with yellow-green spotting and attract hummingbirds and butterflies. Its late bloom season makes it especially valuable in shaded gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1077\" data-end=\"1340\"\u003eExtremely cold tolerant and highly shade adaptable, Rosebay Rhododendron is ideal for woodland gardens, native plant restoration, naturalized plantings, shrub borders, and large mass plantings.
